Additional Information
Our Christian Science Reading Room has been temporarily relocated to the Esperante Corporate Center Building, just west of the former parking area of the church, at 222 Lakeview Avenue, Suite 162. The Reading Room is open on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 11 AM to 3 PM. It is also open for a short time after each Sunday Service. Everyone is invited to visit and use the Reading Room. This provides you the opportunity to study, read, or meditate in quiet surroundings. There are over 125 years of published healings and articles as well as Bibles, Bible commentaries, and all of Mrs. Eddy’s published writings available for you to explore. You may also purchase supplies as well as books and periodicals authorized by the Christian Science Publishing Society.
Parking
Reading Room visitors can park without charge at the Esperante Corporate Center parking garage directly west of the church across Chase Street. The parking garage is accessible from both Okeechobee and Lakeview. Please park on Level 2 or 3 of the garage in spaces marked “Visitor” or “Unreserved”. Please do not park in spaces labeled “Reserved”.
Those Reading Room visitors who have completed a parking form from the church in advance will be issued a reuseable card to swipe at the parking lot entrance. Forms are available from the ushers or from the Clerk. Reading Room visitors without a reuseable card can take a ticket from the parking lot entrance machine that will be validated by the Reading Room Librarian.
